Pharrell Williams criticized music stars on both sides of the aisle campaigning for their presidential picks ahead of the election ... but is flat-out denying he was gunning at Taylor Swift!!!

The superproducer-turned-Louis Vuitton fashion czar made the political slam a week after TS publicly endorsed Kamala Harris, naturally angering the Swifties.

In a new interview with GQ, Pharrell laughed off the backlash ... "I love Taylor. She knows that."

Dean Cain is happy Taylor Swift fans turned out to not be Donald Trump's kryptonite ... because Taylor's endorsement didn't put Kamala Harris in the White House.

The 'Superman' star tell TMZ ... he's pumped Swifties made no difference at the ballot box and in the end "common sense prevailed" in electing Trump president.

Dean says voters aren't swayed as much by celebrity endorsements as perhaps they were in the past ... and he says the proof is in the pudding this election season.

Yung Joc claims Kamala Harris' campaign gassed him up to the brink of letting him perform at a Democratic rally -- only to snatch away the opportunity because he used Donald Trump as a metaphor in his hit song!!!

The "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" star made the confession on "Way Up With Angela Yee" on Tuesday while lamenting over the past election.

Joc says he was asked to perform his 2006 multi-platinum track "It's Goin Down" to rally the troops.

Joe Rogan just spilled some serious next-level insider info ... saying Elon Musk knew hours before the official results dropped that Donald Trump had already won the election.

On his podcast, Rogan revealed Musk had supposedly developed a custom app on his phone that gave him real-time vote counts -- so he basically knew Trump had won 4 hours before anyone else called it.

Rogan wasn't entirely claiming it as fact ... he said the info came from Dana White, who told him Elon had said, "I'm leaving. It's over. Donald won" -- all while the results were still rolling in. Dana and Elon were both hanging out with Trump at Mar-a-Lago in Florida on the night of the election.

The comedian who caught hell for his "garbage" joke about Puerto Rico has released his post-speech reaction, recorded the night after his appearance at Madison Square Garden.

In an episode of "Kill Tony," the podcast and live show hosted by Tony Hinchcliffe, he's onstage performing ... and he goes into a bit about his freshly controversial set from the night before.

You'll recall ... at a Donald Trump rally at Madison Square Garden in NYC on October 27, Hinchcliffe was warming up the crowd -- one of his jokes was, "I don't know if you know this, but there's literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it's called Puerto Rico."

Oprah Winfrey is shutting down claims she was paid $1 million to host a town hall on behalf of Kamala Harris' presidential campaign ... with the talk show legend declaring it's all BS.

While Oprah wasn't too keen to talk about the election results, which saw Donald Trump emerge as the President-elect ... she did make it clear she didn't accept a dime to hit the campaign trail on behalf of the Vice President.

When asked about the alleged $1M payday, OW said the reports were "not true" ... adding she "was paid nothing -- ever."

Some folks are outraged over a live tiger's presence at LSU's game against Alabama ... and that includes Big Cat Rescue founder Carole Baskin -- who tells TMZ Sports the stunt was "blatant disregard for the tiger's well-being."

Saturday marked the first time since 2015 a Panthera Tigris was on the field for an LSU football game ... at state governor Jeff Landry's request. He initially wanted the host school to roll out its current tiger mascot, Mike, to the field for pregame festivities ... but the university declined.

Landry then resorted to bringing a tiger from Florida ... which irked Baskin for several reasons.

A U.S. Government agency's effort to honor those who've served with a Veterans Day social media tribute is, instead, pissing off a whole lot of people.

In a since-deleted post, the Instagram account for the F-35 Lightning II Joint Program Office posted in honor of vets, uploading an image of a fighter plane beneath a banner featuring the American flag.

However, it didn't take long for some eagle-eyed followers to clock that the organization had included a Chinese stealth fighter instead of America's famed F-35 jet ... and mercilessly roasted the JPO for doing so.

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are carrying on after last week's election loss ... with the political team stepping out for a Veterans Day ceremony.

The president and his VP were back on duty Monday, attending a laying of a wreath ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery. The event was long on the pair's calendars, given the important federal holiday ... which commemorates military veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces.

Dressed head-to-toe in black, Biden and Harris showed respect by placing their right hands over their hearts while listening to a rendition of the nation's anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner."

Nick Bosa channeled his inner Donald Trump during the 49er's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ... hitting soon-to-be number 47's signature dance move after picking up a sack, and the President-Elect loved it!

The 27-year-old 49ers star pass rusher celebrated his sack of Baker Mayfield with DJT's favorite dance move (ya know, the one he does during "YMCA"!) ... just two weeks after he wore a "Make America Great Again" hat while photobombing a live post-game interview on NBC.

Well, the celly caught the eye of President Trump ... who praised the Pro Bowler on Truth Social.

Elon Musk's not laughing along with the "Saturday Night Live" cast ... calling them out for being sore losers after Dana Carvey impersonated him on the show last night.

Here's the deal ... during the 'SNL' cold open, cast members pledged their undying allegiance to Donald Trump -- claiming they'd always supported him, so there's no reason for him to retaliate against them.

At one point during the bit, Kenan Thompson jokes that -- worst-case scenario -- we can always just bail on our planet and go to Mars with Elon Musk ... which is when Dana runs out in dressed as the Tesla billionaire.

'SNL' sucked up to Donald Trump in a pretty hilarious way Saturday night!

The show's cold open was a handwringing of sorts, where the cast groused about D.T.'s election victory. They called it "shocking." They called it "horrifying."

But then they worried Trump might seek "vengeance" against his political enemies, of which 'SNL' is a card-carrying member. And then the pivot! Kenan Thompson chimed in ... “We at SNL would like to say to Donald Trump, we have been with you all along.”

Nick Bosa's political message after the San Francisco 49ers Week 8 win over the Dallas Cowboys ain't going unpunished ... 'cause the league just hit him with a manageable fine.

The four-time Pro Bowler was just hit with an $11,255 fine after he wore a white and gold "Make America Great Again" hat on the field after his team's 30-24 win over their longtime rivals.

ICYMI ... Bosa stopped by a postgame interview his teammates Brock Purdy, George Kittle and Isaac Guerendo were giving, flashed the hat, and then ran off toward the sideline. It's a pretty quick moment, but it sparked a pretty massive uproar.

Sally Field was not having much of a fun birthday on Wednesday ... which was on full display when she was snapped trashing her Kamala Harris signs after Donald Trump won reelection.

Looking somewhat dejected, Sally tossed the signs into the trash cans outside her Los Angeles home ... clearly showing she was at best, sad -- at worst, pissed -- over DT's victory.

Back in August, Sally posted on IG when Harris officially accepted the nomination ... "I've not been on social media. Not since it became public toilet paper for our former crook of a President. But 'hope is making a comeback.' So here I am. This is me. And this is my dog, Dash. Buckle up,"

SF was among the cavalcade of stars who put their full support behind Kamala ... endorsements that clearly did nothing to move the needle -- as evident in DT also winning the popular vote this time around.

One celeb who backed Trump -- Kid Rock -- definitely celebrated DT's win ... and made a surprising request to his fans and fellow Trumpers ... let's all just get along now!

In a video he posted to IG ... KD dropped the act and appeared as himself, Robert Ritchie ... and told his fans it's time to come together as a country and let go of animosity for one another.

"We must remember that most of our left-leaning friends are good people who want the same things in life as we do, but simply think differently on how to get there," he implored.

Donald Trump is on his way back to the White House ... and the controversy surrounding the death of Peanut the squirrel might have helped ... at least that's what the squirrel's owner thinks.

Mark Longo told TMZ he was humbled and honored that on Monday, Vice President-elect J.D. Vance was at a rally, talking about how "fired up" DT was over the death of Peanut ... which ML is sure helped them at the polls.

Those campaign comments -- as ML sees it -- showed Trump cares about the little guy ... even if that little guy is a medium-sized rodent that took social media by storm with his tricks.

Some liberal women are on a sex strike to punish men over Donald Trump being reelected president ... but it might not work out how they envision -- so says Farrah Abraham.

Here's the skinny ... Dems seemed to think a possible DT defeat would be a referendum on abortion rights. And as that did not happen, some women are calling for a sex strike along the lines of "4B," a trend that began in South Korea in 2018 in the wake of America's #MeToo movement.

Farrah tells TMZ ... she is all for women choosing to be abstinent, and that they should have bodily autonomy -- but a sex strike simply over DT's win is pretty lame.
